Jane has always been interested in food and food science.

She enjoyed a long career as a dietitian and nutritionist; highlights include creating the first infant and toddler food education programs, being part of establishing the first workplace breastfeeding policy and breastfeeding and parent rooms in public buildings and improving access to healthy food in low-income areas. Jane has taught healthy cooking programs, ran a small catering business and was a nutrition consultant to aged care facilities, private hospitals and corporate enterprises.

 Jane is passionate about local food production, community gardens and farmers’ markets and eating what’s in season. She loves to cook (and eat) and is enjoying getting to know the wonderful array of restaurants and cafes, and food providors, having recently moved to the Shoalhaven from further south.

 Recently retired from the public service, Jane is looking forward to continuing her involvement in our More Than Lunch series of events, and spending more time in her kitchen and vegie garden, and with her grandchild of course!
